Just a few days left ~ The Promise of Provence for $1.99 (USA)

June 25, 2023 by Patricia Sands 2 Comments

Thank you, Amazon! I always appreciate it when one of my books is offered on sale.

When I wrote The Promise of Provence, I had no idea it would turn into the long series it has. The reason that happened is thanks to readers like you who fell in love with the characters and wanted to know how Kat’s life changed after her home exchange in the ancient farmhouse in the countryside of Provence and then her second exchange in magical Antibes where a new life truly began to fall into place.

I was happy to keep spending time with the characters, meeting new ones, and discovering myself how her world was unfolding. It’s so satisfying to write about how life can change for the better at any age and that we are never too old to begin again.

I am working on Book #4 in the Villa des Violettes series now and hope to have it ready for you by December.

At the moment, through another promotion, A Season of Surprises is FREE for a short time! Bonus!

Bon weekend everyone!
